That's pretty much where I'm at. I'm to the point where I'm almost rejecting our past because it only illustrates how far we have fallen.

If this was just a case of having the right structure but hiring the wrong people that would be one thing. But we aren't even structured properly. The decline of the Cowboys didn't have to happen. It doesn't have to continue. All it takes is one man to set his ego aside and they can be great again. That's what's so aggravating. One guy's ridiculously large ego has caused all this and there is no light at the end of the tunnel. No foreseeable way out of it.

What the heck's wrong with just being a great Owner and racking up hardware? I'm pretty sure the fan base would worship you in that role, if credit and attention is what you seek.

I did shed a tear....I was in my early 20's when we had Jimmy......Now in my early 40's still look like i'm in my 20's but 8 years of Army service 88-95 it catching up.....I CANT WAIT TO WATCH THAT AND RELIVE THE MEMORIES....

There are dozens of ways to be a successful coach. That style is what worked for Jimmy.

With a bunch of hall of famers including the Doomsday D and Captain America

Kidding aside, I get your point but do you think Landry would put up with the penalties, turnovers, lack of accountability that we see in today&#8217;s Cowboys? IMO this team needs someone pushing them and holding them accountable and unfortunately I do not see that in Garrett, hope I´m wrong.

Until we see the practices and film sessions there is no way to assume he and hsi staff aren't working to fix the penalties.

3 last game by the way. I'd take 6 more if they replaced the turnovers.

In the NFL Network special Drew Pearson said after they would win Coach Landry would still get on them..he said you wondered did we just lose that game? He said he had a way about him that none of them wanted to be the guy that let the coach down.

For you young ones, don't miss it. Set your DVR now. I became a fan in the 70's(The year we beat the Broncos in the SB), and my father used to tell me about Lily, Merideth, Hayes, etc; I wish I could see those games.

I would think a lot of that attitude was the same with Jimmy.[/quote]

Not really. Two totally different styles. With Jimmy, you might be wondering if you still had a job if you let him down too often. He certainly wouldn't keep trotting you out there if you're screwing up.

Landry wasn't afraid to bench players either, iirc he even benched Hayes a couple times, would love to see Garrett grow the stones(or get permission from daddy Jerry) to bench Dez at least one game

Landry had plenty of fire and passion. He just wasn't demonstrative on the field. He didn't wear his emotions on his sleeve like Jimmy. I've actually heard several of his players talk about this and to not be fooled by his calm demeanor on the sidelines. They've seen the other side of him.

If you want to rip Garrett, I'd look for another avenue. The guy was born into a football family. It's all he knows and loves. Questioning his fire and/or passion seems foolish to me. Maybe you're right when you say he can't coach but don't tell me he doesn't have a burning desire for it and doesn't invest himself totally in that goal.

Landry didn't have his GM overruling his decisions, or questioning his play calling on the sidelines like Garrett has. Not even Vince Lombardi could win a superbowl with this egomaniac as his GM. Jimmy had the brass cojones to stand up to Jerry. I don't know if Bill did. After all he was stuck with "the player" whether he liked it or not. You can't have the GM dictate who starts or who sits. The coach loses all credibility.

Jerry Jones "I can bring in 500 coaches to coach this team " Still haven't found a replacement for Jimmy! Jerry you bloody fool. you had it all and your ego ruined it. I will never forgive you for that. How bout dem Cowboys....
